----I heard about Sheng via a friend who had stomach and sleeping disorders for over a decade. After seeing countless doctors, naturopaths, alternative health practitioners, nothing had worked for him. He told me he had never felt better after his treatments with Sheng. I started seeing Sheng because of back problems and stomach inflammation.

I had injured my back over a decade ago, and in recent years begun to suffer from sciatica. Even when I didnt have sciatica my back was constantly sore and my movements were becoming increasingly limited. With my stomach it was a case of the H Pylori Bacteria which had worn away some of the lining of my stomach, so any spicy foods, alcohol or high stress resulted in a burning sensation and a tightness of the stomach which could last for days. I was also lacking in energy and getting out of bed was ridiculously difficult!

After one session with Sheng I came home that day and the exhaustian was overwhelming. After a good nights sleep I woke at 6.30am bursting with energy. That was nearly two weeks ago and I have jumped out of bed every morning, and have bever been more clear headed and positive. My back improved by about 30% after the first session. It was incredible to not wake up with back pain, I had become so used to it I was still compenstaing for my back by moving in certain ways and not bending down if I could help it. I also had noticeably decreased symptoms in my stomach.

After the second session Sheng said I might experience some pain or discomfort in the next three days and not to panic. On the third day I did indeed have middle back pain which lasted for about three to four hours. Then the pain stopped and my back has been pain free for nearly a week.

After the third session my stomach felt normal, no burning and no tightness. A particularly high stress situation occurred at work which would always result in immediate stomach pain, I was surprised to notice a few hours later that there had been pain or tightness at all.

I have seen osteopaths, physios, acupuncturists and many others in regards to my back and though there was some positive results they were all very short lived, (as in a day or two of relief) and after many months of seeing them I had nowhere near the improvement in my back that I have had after just 3 hours with Sheng.

I don't remember a time in my life when I could wake up at 6.30am and not feel sluggish. I have an abundance of energy and my whole demeanour seems to have changed. I am absolutely astounded by my physical and mental changes.

I cannot recommend Sheng more highly.

---- My name is Amanda, I'm 22 years old and live in country NSW. After injuring myself at work I suffered from lower back pain, and being in the horticultural industry I couldn't afford to have this problem. I decided I needed to see a chiropractor to fix this, but after 6 weeks of appointments I still had no reprieve from my pain and was unable to work properly or play any sports.

My sister recommended I go to Melbourne and visit sheng - she had success stories of her own so I was eager to see him. I only had one weekend in Melbourne, so could only see him twice. I was worried this would not be enough, however I am very happy to say that I hobbled in on Saturday, and walked out Sunday. His techniques were very gentle, non-invasive and professional. The therapy relaxed me and got my energy flowing through my body, unblocking my lower back and leg and rid of my pain. Since I come back from Melbourne two months ago I have been working quite hard and playing lots of sports and have not had a problem at all.

I was also very happy to be shown more exercises that will continue the good work Sheng did, and they leave me with a sense of wellbeing I had never had from other exercises before. I highly recommend Qigong for therapy and am confident this practice will help many more people as much as it helped me.

---When I went to see Sheng I’d been ill on and off for years from a number of auto-immune conditions such as sarcoidosis and morphea-schleroderma. In the past I’d been able to manage these conditions by taking very good care of my health but after three, very stressful years, working in a university that was being restructured, my health had seriously deteriorated. Lesions from the morphea had spread all over my legs and trunk and my joints were extremely painful My right leg was stiff. I limped after walking even short distances and my hair was falling out in handfuls, so I wasn’t a pretty sight. Chronically exhausted, I was scared that I wouldn’t be able to keep on working, let alone sustain the research output my university demands. I was seeing my GP, a rheumatologist, a dermatologist, and having numerous blood tests and X rays, but the only treatment available, after all this, was cortisone for the lesions.

At the advice of a friend I literally put myself in Sheng’s hands. 6 months later my health has improved remarkably. I have a lot more hair! Most of my joint pain is gone! I no longer limp! I still have lesions on my body and limbs but these seem to be slowly improving. They are not showing any sign of becoming schlerotic and my rheumatologist thinks they’re no longer active. This is sweet news because it’s a really unpleasant condition. Best of all, my emotional well being has improved as well.

Sheng is an extraordinary healer. He seems to find pain in your body that you didn’t know was there, and this is emotional as well as physical pain. I don’t know what the medical basis for what he does is, I just know he worked a small miracle for me. He is a deeply calm and gentle man and gives his patients some of this calmness. After each session I would find myself breathing, thinking and feeling differently. He seems to literally pour energy into your body so that after even one session you feel restored and energised. Now when I am stressed I just imagine being at Sheng’s and my body starts to calm down. After a few weeks of seeing Sheng I began to get some mental energy back. This made it possible for me to begin to do research again and to be much more lively both at home and at work. After a few months of seeing Sheng I’d gained the peace of mind and courage to change the way I was living and working. I’ve found a new job in a much less stressful university and my partner and I have bought a house with a beautiful garden in a peaceful village in the Adelaide Hills. I couldn’t have done this without Sheng’s help.

I feel very fortunate to have discovered Sheng five years ago after a friend recommended him to me. I used to suffer from chronic migraines. After unsuccessfully trying every type of conventional treatment, I was at a loss as to what to do next. Thank goodness for Sheng. After only a few healings my migraines had virtually disappeared. I'm now lucky (or unlucky) to get one a year, as opposed to four or five per week!

Sheng's healing and guidance have given me the tools for both physical and spiritual well being. If I'm feeling run down, unwell or stressed, a session with Sheng will give me renewed energy and clarity. He's a gentle soul, and truly has the magic touch. I can't recommend his services highly enough.

Best wishes

After spending countless dollars visiting chiropractors, osteopaths, massage therapists, physiotherapists and Bowen therapists over the last 26 years, non of which were able to give much relief, I’d begun to think that it was just my lot in life to have pain every time I bent down, got out of a chair, out of bed or out of the car. My whole body was feeling like a rusty old gate, stiff and sore most of the time and getting worse each year. I’d tried yoga, strength training, lots of walking, core strength training and swimming and nothing seemed to make me better; in fact, these things seemed to make me worse. I’d tried magnesium, fish oil, glucosamine and chondroitin, rose hip extract, acidophilus and many other varied supplements. I was beginning to think I’d be in a wheelchair by the time I reached 60, which is only 10 years away.

A co-worker suggested in 2008 that I go to her Qigong healer and at the time I didn’t take heed, even though she said he was “very special” and had helped her tremendously. I was determined that my chiropractor would get to the bottom of my issue and so continued to persist with him. However, by March 2010 I was desperate to get relief and thought I should give the Qigong guy a go. So off I went to see Sheng.

I wasn’t prepared for how nurturing Sheng’s treatments are. It is a very relaxing one hour treatment, but there are also intense moments when Sheng works on blocked points in the body. Sometimes I had what Sheng calls “reactions” after the treatment, such as mild diarrhoea the next morning, but it didn’t take long before my back started to feel much better. After about 6 sessions my original problem started to disappear for longer periods. When I thought it was gone for good it flared up again, even worse this time, and I thought I had wasted my money and my time, but my co-worker friend assured me that it was part of the process and that I should continue, and Sheng also assured me this was yet another “reaction”. Sure enough, after the next session the troublesome spot in my back got much better and my overall stiffness started to ease off. This cycle happened a few times and I just kept trusting that the process would work. Apparently many people don’t go back after the first “reaction”, so I’m very glad I continued as my back just got better and better. But then the pain moved unexpectedly to my right hip, the blockage had apparently moved, and Sheng then began to work on that area over a couple of months.

Now I am absolutely delighted to say that I have full movement in my back and hip and don’t feel “rusted up” anymore; after 26 years I can move like I did when I was a teenager. I highly recommend Sheng and offer the advice that if you do start to get Qigong healing, please stick with it through some tough times as the healing process will work in its own mysterious way. Sheng is indeed “very special”.

I’ve been receiving Qi Gong treatments from Sheng for over 6 years. If I were to say that they are of the highest standard, they help me to maintain emotional balance, that my physical and mental energy are greatly enhanced, then you would have to believe me. If you go to Ping and experience the QI Gong with him, you will then know how good it is.
As with many of you who are visiting this website (reading this testimonial) over the years, in my case 30 years I’ve experienced many practitioners and modalities. For me many work for a while, some don’t ; Qi Gong in the hands Ping is consistently of great benefit.
Book yourself in for a few sessions.
The physical and mental energy I gain is phenomenal.
Any aches and pains from long flights overseas quickly dissipate.

Hi Sheng,
I thought I'd let you know how thankful I am to be healed by your amazing hands!! From the first time I met you I knew you were a genuine caring healer. Its incredible to think that after just 3 sessions my unexplained high blood pressure is back to normal and the 2 breast lumps that I had have now disappeared. My little Heidi (2 years old) who only saw you once is all better now after having a persistent cough for over a year! You are a true healer and worth every dollar!! Thank you and warmest wishes,

Tanya (Mentone)

My name is Ilana Sharp. I have been practicing qi gong for more than ten years when I first went to see Sheng after a debilitating 3 years of Chronic Fatigue. At the time I had extremely low energy, all sorts of body aches and pains and had lost a startling amount of weight. I had tried all sorts of remedies through that time. Qi gong is the only one that really worked.

At the very beginning I saw Sheng for healings every week or two. Quite quickly I noticed a difference just from the healings. I have always found Sheng to be a practitioner of enormous patience, kindness, perception and integrity. He taught me the basics of the practice over the next year or so and I have been doing that practice almost daily for the past ten years. The Chronic Fatigue resolved within months and I have never suffered from any major illness since. I have worked full-time in very physically active jobs since then and I am now forty-one years old. I usually practice for around an hour a day, sometimes more. I have also had a weak back for most of my adult life and the practice helps enormously with back pain and stiffness. Aside from the health benefits, I find that the practice helps to calm the mind and the emotions and provides a daily ‘time-out’, something most of us don’t take for ourselves.

The practice is not strenuous and can be done by anyone. The more you practice, the more you build up strength, energy and physical confidence. I have also continued to see Sheng for healings throughout that time as the need arose and will continue to do so. I have recommended Sheng to many friends suffering from many different conditions and ailments. All have benefited and found him to be an extraordinary practitioner. I cannot recommend Sheng or the practice highly enough.

I have visited Sheng zhong for muscular injuries/pain. Over the last year I have had healing on back, hip, neck and shoulder pain. Compared with physio and massage for me it has been far more effective, both immediately and long term. To me it seems to be a combination of reiki, acupressure and massage. Sheng zhong is a lovely, calm and professional practitioner who immediately makes you feel welcome. I would highly recommend him.

Tracy’s Story

My experiences with Sheng began back in May of 2003. He was recommended to me by a friend as I had been experiencing extreme pain in my lower back and right leg for a couple of months. Many trips to the physiotherapist, chiropractor and doctor over this time had failed to help or even alleviate what was going on. I was effectively unable to walk, could only sleep with strong prescription pain killers and even the wrinkles in my pyjamas caused me extreme distress. The flow on effects meant, of course, that I was completely unable to work and I had to resign from my job. For someone who was only 34 years old and had worked in the plant industry for a number of years, I was used to being physically fit and capable. Now, I was unable to even do the simplest of things, like putting on my own socks. Things were not looking good, and for 2 months after sustaining my injury, nothing I had done nor had the doctors I had seen helped.

So where did this pain come from? It began in March of that year. It seemed simple enough; I landed awkwardly after jumping across a creek. At the time, I felt a sharp pain in my lower back, but soon this cleared. However, after a couple of days it returned in force, this time extending from my lower back to my right leg. The pain itself was extreme and I had difficulty walking and was unable to sleep. Massage therapy only made things worse. My next point of call was to the chiropractor who tried to do some manipulations, but this was excruciating. He suggested I take pain killers and have an x-ray to investigate for any damage. Prescribed Mersyndol forte offered no relief and the x-ray revealed nothing. At this time the pain was becoming increasingly worse.

My next option was physiotherapy. I continued this for two months, but like the chiropractor, it did not help. In many ways this made things worse as I was advised to do various exercises, on land and in the hydro therapy pool, none of this helped.

One evening whilst trying to sleep (on the floor; bed was not an option), I moved a bit too far and the most acute pain was felt. The next day; another trip to the doctor, a cat scan and stronger pain killers. The cat scan revealed a bulged disc that was pressing on my sciatic nerve, which was apparently the source of my pain. For pain killers, Tramal was prescribed. This drug did offer some relief, the first relief since March. But this was only temporary.

So at this point I had not received any effective assistance through the various doctors I had seen, the chiropractor, nor the physiotherapist. Nothing was working. I was losing faith that anyone could help me at all. And then a friend suggested I explore Qigong and recommended Sheng. My partner telephoned and described what was going on, as well as the pain I was experiencing over the previous couple of months. Sheng, based on that conversation, arranged to visit me at my house. This in itself was a relief, the first time I was not made to travel, sit in waiting rooms or walk across car parks, all of which aggravated things immensely. Sheng immediately made me feel at ease and on that day started Qigong healing. Soon after our first healing session I felt a slight improvement. That was a miracle. For the first time, treatment had actually improved the situation. But more than that, this was the first time that any health practitioner had not caused me more pain, both during and after the consultation.

From this point forward slow progress was made. It was a relief to feel that finally, movement in the right direction was occurring. Suddenly under the guidance of Sheng, things were actually improving and a light appeared at the end of the tunnel. Initially Sheng would visit once a week at my house. Between visits I would religiously practice the ‘exercises’ that Sheng taught me. This process continued for several months and a slow but steady improvement occurred. I was finally regaining my independence and had a more positive outlook. I am now managing our own cattle property and am able to do most of the jobs associated with it. Most recently I was grateful to be able to help defend our home in the Black Saturday Bushfires, carrying buckets of water all night and with no ill effect. I am basically back to my old self.

Overall, Sheng’s manner was at all times calm and positive, always ensuring that a full recovery was possible. This was unlike any of the health practitioners I had seen. I have no doubt that without his help the road to recovery would have been far more difficult. I feel fortunate that I met him and had a chance to experience healing through Qigong. Life is very good.

I have been seeing a shiastu massage therapist for my knee ( I had a cartilage graft ) for 2 years. She helped enomously but when she went to Japan she recommended I see Sheng. I have been going to Sheng now for 2months. Prior to seeing Sheng my knee would turn inwards all the time, I limped and I regularly had pain. My knee is now more flexible & I rarely have pain or limp. I am more confident in the way I use my knee - I no longer think about my knee before I use it. Not only do I feel Sheng has helped my knee I also feel has has given me more clarity in my thoughts. Since Sheng has worked on my head I feel confident in my decisions and I can remember things more readily. I would recommend him to anyone recovering from surgery or with a long term injury, both for the mental and physical benefits he provides.
